A WINTER'S DAY

Although most of Switzerland is covered with a thick layer of snow, the Geneva area only got a thin coat of white...

It is quite rare to have snow in this part of the country, so I was very happy to see that, this time, Veyrier hadn't been spared. So, last Sunday, I took my camera and went around the countryside in search of good shots. Enjoy!

I always love snow, but we don't really have snow here in California, unless if you go up to the mountain (Lake Tahoe). This ski resort is very pretty and popular destination for Californian in winter. My son is there right now doing some snowboarding (he is addicted to it).

Love your photos a lot, you always capture the season very well, Rosa.Hugs,Elra

Rosa,I've just check your recipe "Mailänderli Cookies" as you've suggested. I am liking it, the ingredients are very similar, the only different is in the glaze. I might be able to test it your recipe (again).

Rosa, I really think it might be a good idea to consider to write a book for all of your creation.I have tested many of your recipes, which I honestly think that your recipe is unpretentious, prepare by someone who really know how to cook and put so much love in every cooking. All recipes that I have tested so far, turn out pretty well, plus you also write very well in both languages. Xoxo,Elra

Snow does brightened the landscape. Now that we have snow, I find that the nights are really light, especially if there is a bit of moonlight reflecting off of the snow. There are no street lights in our community so one notices these things! The nights are quite dark in the fall before the snow comes!

Oh my gosh, Rosa...your photos are breathtaking! I know I've said that exact thing before, but its just so true. You live surrounded by extraordinary natural beauty...its dreamy with the light snowfall, isn't it? :-)
